New submission from Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com>:
The CGI interface is a binary stream, because it is pumped directly to/from the
HTTP protocol, which is a binary stream.
Hence, cgitb.py should produce binary output. Presently, it produces text
output.
When one sets stdout to a binary stream, and then cgitb intercepts an error,
cgitb fails.
Demonstration of problem:
import sys
import traceback
sys.stdout = open("sob", "wb") # WSGI sez data should be binary, so stdout
should be binary???
import cgitb
sys.stdout.write(b"out")
fhb = open("fhb", "wb")
cgitb.enable()
fhb.write("abcdef") # try writing non-binary to binary file. Expect an error,
of course.
